"The Origin of the term 'Muslim God' as used originally in the 5% Nation"

With the 5% understanding (as explained by Allah) that "Muslim" means "a
Righteous Person", and "God" means "the Black Man." In it's infancy, the
term "Muslim God" (as used internally by 5 Percenters) was/is simply a
descriptive term (used originally in jest by other 5 Percenters) to
humorously describe the type of 5 Percenter who didn't smoke, gamble, drink
or drug and other 'vices', and whose lifestyle was more compatible with
those of Grown Muslims rather than a juvenile lifestyle (of which many
young Gods as juveniles partook in at the time).
The term "Muslim God" simply meant a 5 Percenter who was living out the
righteous prescribed laws of Islam (and code of conduct) as the said
Civilized Person of that ability that was normally associated with the
civilized or refined behavior of a 'Muslim' (follower of the Most Hon.
Elijah Muhammad). Including "the walk and talk" (which included the
language, in some cases the clothing, and the overall respect for the
culture of Islam).
The descriptive term "Muslim God" also describes a 5 Percenter that was/is
a "Registered Muslim" of the Nation of Islam (and still recognizes the
creed and teachings of Master Fard Muhammad and the Most Hon. Elijah
Muhammad as being a divine teaching and a righteous creed as their moral
compass). Which means any 5% "whose name is written in the Book of
Life" (or has received their "X" or "Holy Name" from the Messenger of
Allah).
The descriptive term "Muslim God" also applies to the 5 Percenter (who
although might partake in a juvenile lifestyle or any other 'un-Muslim like
activities) yet they still recognize and understand that the goal is to
"one day stop doing all of this" (un-Muslim like activities). So even those
5% who might fall short of the law, that if they at least recognize the
prescribed laws of Islam to the said person of that ability and accept the
wisdom and divine guidance of Allah in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad
and the Most Hon. Mr. Elijah Muhammad, that in and of itself would classify
them as "Muslim Gods".
And given today's climate, a "Muslim God" could simply describe a 5% that
is NOT anti-Muslim or that DOES NOT TEACH HATRED OF THE MUSLIMS.
So that's SOME of the origin(s) of the term and how it was used in the 5%
Nation (historically speaking). And nowadays some of these types of Gods
(who fit that description) also use the term to describe themselves simply
so that people will know who they are, and their stance as it relates to
the prescribed laws of Islam to the said person of that ability.
There are many other origins and examples of who and what would be
considered a "Muslim God." Yet again, the most important thing is that it
is simply a descriptive term to describe a certain aspect of a particular
God. So it's used as an adjective in the same way that adjectives are used
to describe many other type of Gods (Medina Gods, Mecca Gods, Wu-Tang Gods,
Firstborn Gods, etc etc).
Peace to ALL of the GODS.

PS. The purpose of this post is to enlighten and educate brothers and
sisters on the popular subject "What are Muslim Gods". It is not meant to
create division, disunity, jealousy, envy or hatred of any 5 Percenters,
including the Muslim God 5 Percenters. For all are 5 Percenters, and the 5%
is a very diverse community, and that should be celebrated. Peace.
